Consider your ways!

Why is this not working? Have you found yourself asking that question about your life or a situation in your life lately? You’re doing everything you can think of and it is still not working.

Now therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways! “You have sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough; You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And he who earns wages, Earns wages to put into a bag with holes. Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways!” Haggai 1:5-7

Consider your ways! These scriptures speak of a person who is attempting to live right, but there is a certain area of his or her life, which does not align with the Word of God. You have to ask God to reveal to you both sins, known and unknown, that may hinder your walk with Him. Although you may live a Christian life, if you choose to obey God in some areas of your life without obeying Him in other areas, your life will flourish only partially.

As you continue to grow in God, your desires will soon align with His will and purpose for your life. This process requires diligently seeking Him each and every day and getting to know His Word. It is only because of our lack of communication with God we fail to understand where He wants us to be. Commit today to take time to listen to what He has in store for you. Remember, it is never too late to start again. Once you acknowledge all your sins and turn away from them, God will begin to reveal Himself to you in a mighty way.

“Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

Prayer: God forgive me for all the sin in my life. Jesus to help me better communicate with You on regular basis, not just when I’m in need. God reveal anything in my life that does not align with Your Word. God remind me of my need to acknowledge the sin in my life and to seek Your forgiveness every day.
